Avery loves any holiday, even if it's not for her. She was so excited for Mother's Day that we just HAD to celebrate it at about 7am that morning, thus why I won't be sharing any pictures with me in them. She immediately "gave" me my gifts, which means that she showed me the package and promptly began opening it herself. She was so excited to show me the shoes she had made for me. I got two pairs of flip flops that she had decorated (painted).
She also gave me a great card. She's showing me that she wrote both of our names on the envelope so that I would know who it's for and who it's from. Thanks Avery!
I'm sure it will come as no surprise that we took our annual Mother's Day trip to the zoo. We went to the St. Louis Zoo again this year, and I think we love it more each time. I'm going to be so sad when this trip is no longer something that she looks forward to!
Our first stop was the hippos (on our way to the elephants of course...she always asks for the elephants first). The hippos are so great because you can see them above and below the water...I really like the hippos.
After the hippos we happened to come upon the elephants (yeah right, the hippos just happened to be on the direct path to the elephants).
There was a baby elephant this year, which I don't think we've seen in years past. Avery kept saying how cute the little baby elephant was.
At the end of the day, Avery and I took a ride on the zoo train. That was a first for us this year. I have to admit that I was kind of disappointed with the train...you can't see the animals from the train. It did go through a cool tunnel, but all in all a disappointment for me. Avery thought it was great though. (Jeremy stayed with the stroller and the rest of our gear as it was not permitted to ride on the train.)
And...as a side note to Mother's Day...Avery is going to be a big sister! We are excited to welcome our new addition, due on October 29, 2012.
